It's good to see feedback on the blog (even negative stuff), and it's nice to see that someone is reading my stuff (haha).<br /><br />I shouldn't take a lot of credit on the humility bit though :) It may seem candid talking about downgrading but frankly it'll be common knowledge soon enough (when registration starts for Bethel). I think what's important is the reasons for it. It's like feature-benefit - it's no use just knowing the feature, it's more important to understand the benefit.<br /><br />I did forget one thing before I downgraded - I didn't take a screenshot of my membership info as a 2. Now it says 3 (and I just renewed my license). And, honestly, it seems like that's what it should be. I just wish I had that screenshot.Akihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430651087205849350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-13419330943704935602011-12-29T12:16:25.020-05:002011-12-29T12:16:25.020-05:00It's always refreshing to read your blog, in p...It's always refreshing to read your blog, in part because you're so candid and brave enough to be very public about things like downgrading and so forth.<br /><br />I think too many of us take ourselves too seriously. Your humor and humility always bring me back down to earth.<br /><br />I hope 2012 will bring you more fun than a barrel of caffeine-addled Cat 4 'crossers :)<br /><br />(If you do find such a barrel, though, please let us out. It gets cramped in there sometimes.)Kokorozashihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10226186864904149792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-33668763094205142962011-12-29T08:58:17.134-05:002011-12-29T08:58:17.134-05:00I'd like to, but only if I can really help.

Thinking it through I think it'd be more beneficial to work a feedzone or something like that. Based on time/scheduling limitations I'd want to help out at closer races (sub 2 hour driving).<br /><br />As far as riding goes, in 2010 I had a hard time climbing with even Cat 4s. Unless I ride in a purely domestique role until the first climb I won't be of any help.Akihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430651087205849350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-8018183982295898592011-12-28T17:20:31.100-05:002011-12-28T17:20:31.100-05:00Any chance your desire to work with Expo teammates...Any chance your desire to work with Expo teammates will extend to races other than Crits?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
